H-hello! Last time I wrote a 10-day review of fat-extraction injections for upper-arm fat, and the response was pretty good, so I brought a one-month review too!
During that time, I also received aftercare procedures, and the pain gradually decreased!! Still, for about 3 weeks, movements that required lifting my arms high, like washing my hair or tying it up, hurt a lot ㅠㅠ Now it has gotten much better..!! And I have no bruising at all now!! I'll probably come back with bruises again from the aftercare procedure I'm going to during the week ㅠㅠ At least I'm doing it in weather where I can wear long sleeves, so that's a huge relief ㅜㅜ
(The question I got most from people around me)
Q. Is it okay to get the procedure in summer?
As I emphasized in my previous post, I really recommend doing it in weather when you can wear long sleeves ㅜㅜ Some people asked if it would be okay to do it in summer! Since the procedure is done by making somewhat large holes in the treatment area, after all the procedures were finished, while those holes scabbed over and healed, they felt itchy and I kept being bothered by them for no reason! In hot summer weather, I kept thinking that sweat touching the area or humid days might make the wounds worsen! And more than anything, the bruises are veeeery large and a bit unsightly ㅠㅠ They say it's fine if you apply the bruise cream they prescribe together, but it still takes at least 2 weeks...!! Also, during the aftercare procedure, you get mesotherapy fat-dissolving injections, and those caused quite a lot of bruising here and there too ㅠㅠ Some areas don't go away easily... ㅜㅜ If you really have a reason you need to do it in summer, I hope you cover it with something like a thin cardigan!!
---------------------------------------------------------------- Anyway, right now, one week before my period, I did some serious.. binge eating..ㅋㅋㅋ I ate everything I wanted, and it was truly a piggishly diligent day, the whole thing.. Now I'm on my period and my whole body is swollen (I usually swell a lot during my period), but when I take photos and compare them like this, seriously only my upper-arm fat has just slipped away..ㅋㅋ There are still some slightly lumpy areas, and a swollen feeling? I still have that tingling/numb feeling even when it just touches something ㅠㅠ It really stubbornly won't go away.. And when I'm talking with my friends, they sometimes tap my upper arms, and it seriously hurts so much ㅠㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ It doesn't show that much in photos, but in real life I lost so much that honestly it feels a bit awkward too, and every time I see how clothes fit, I feel good..!! I think it was so, so worth doing..ㅎㅎㅎ
After my period ends, I should cut down a lot on sweets too and focus on reducing swelling!! This summer, I absolutely have to wear sleeveless tops confidently..!!!ㅜㅜ
Thank you for reading this long post! If I have time, I'll come back with another review. Bye ~~ :-)
